Coated Abrasives Types Components and Uses
                     COATED ABRASIVES: TYPES, 
COMPONENTS, & USES
Coated abrasive is 
produced by bonding 
abrasive grains to 
backing material or 
flexible substrate using 
adhesives. Paper, 
fabric, vulcanized fiber, 
and plastic films are 
widely used as a 
backing material.
APPLICATIONS OF COATED ABRASIVE
• The coated abrasives are produced 
in "jumbo" rolls and then cut into 
various shapes such as belts, discs, 
rolls, and sheets for surface 
treatment and polishing 
applications.
• Sanding rolls and sanding belts, 
typically for non-precision operation, 
are commonly coated abrasives for 
physical applications. These two 
styles are known as symbolic 
coated abrasives by the general 
public.
STORAGE AND HANDLING OF 
COATED ABRASIVES
Abrasives performance can be affected by improper storage 
of coated abrasives. Both types of backings are subject to 
temperature and humidity fluctuations during storage:
• Keep the storage area at steady humidity (35-50 percent) 
and temperature (60-80 °F) levels.
• Keep cartons away from damp or cold walls and floors 
where moisture can be absorbed.
• Store coated abrasives away from any source of heat.
• On shelves or pallets, shop bulk rolls flat, not on the side.
